1 00:00:00,506 --> 00:00:10,556 [ Music ] 2 00:00:11,056 --> 00:00:12,766 >> [Background Music] The Methodist folks approached us 3 00:00:12,976 --> 00:00:17,006 with the goal to use some of the technology that we're proving 4 00:00:17,006 --> 00:00:18,636 out both on the ground and in space 5 00:00:19,436 --> 00:00:21,856 for having the robot help humans perform tasks. 6 00:00:22,376 --> 00:00:26,386 In this case, medical tasks with both ultrasound and injections 7 00:00:27,006 --> 00:00:29,106 as part of the ultrasound procedure. 8 00:00:29,566 --> 00:00:30,956 The robot's doing really well going after those. 9 00:00:31,516 --> 00:00:36,576 [ Music ] 10 00:00:37,076 --> 00:00:38,796 >> After training lots of pulleys and position, 11 00:00:38,936 --> 00:00:42,106 I felt I'd like to give a shot to train Robonaut. 12 00:00:42,486 --> 00:00:44,876 I would say that, within an hour, I trained him more 13 00:00:44,876 --> 00:00:47,386 than with other students I'm working for a week. 14 00:00:47,616 --> 00:00:50,346 So I think he's learning really fast. 15 00:00:50,816 --> 00:00:53,526 So, our plan is to really use Robonaut 16 00:00:53,526 --> 00:00:56,836 as a telemedicine doctor, so remote areas. 17 00:00:56,916 --> 00:01:01,976 And we hope that the robot in the future telemedicine able 18 00:01:02,036 --> 00:01:06,326 to perform medical procedures directed by the expert hand, 19 00:01:06,536 --> 00:01:08,516 or even doing the procedure by itself. 20 00:01:09,206 --> 00:01:10,776 >> Every time we perform a new task, 21 00:01:10,776 --> 00:01:12,016 we're building up our experience. 22 00:01:12,866 --> 00:01:15,836 That leads to us developing new techniques 23 00:01:15,946 --> 00:01:18,546 that not can only be used for medical industry, 24 00:01:18,546 --> 00:01:20,936 but other industries where NASA can provide help throughout the
